My experiment and biggest challenge.
I have realised my problem with food, is not what I eat, but the amount and my feeling of guilt about wasting food. If I'm really enjoying a meal, I don't stop eating when I'm full because I'm enjoying the taste too much, so I keep going until I've finished. That plus a deeply ingrained feeling of guilt if I waste food (I…

Weight Lifting Routine For Women
I want to start a weight routine between doing Insanity every other day. I have a bar with weights and two free weights. I'm looking for a simple but effective routine that I can do with this basic equipment. Most i have found involve benches, bands etc. If anyone knows a good one or one that they have made up and use I…

Exercise & Cellulite
I have been doing Insanity for almost a month now, but I have noticed that my cellulite has gotten worse. I thought it may have been just me, but a few others who have been doing it too, have said exactly the same thing. Does anyone know why this is happening and if it will reduce again?

Blood donation on a diet

Is this OK to still donate or should I forget the diet the day before and after, or do I just have a lot of protein a few…

A question for the ladies....
I have recently stepped up my exercise so that it really kicks my *kitten*. I have however noticed that within about 10 minutes of stopping the workout I get extremely bloated and get period like cramps. I keep hydrated when I exercise and am unsure what causes this. A quick google search seems to show it's quite a common…

Need help shifting the last few pre-holiday pounds
Basically I am plateauing again. I don't know if that is because I'm eating too few calories or something else (feel free to check my diary). I want to lose 4 more lbs before i go on holiday in 2 weeks. With a 1000cal deficit everyday I should easily have hit 140lb before holiday, but I am still going to be at least 6lbs…

Feeling deflated - need some help
OK, so my goal was to reach 140lbs by the beginning of September, which when I started was approximately 1.5 - 2lbs a week to hit my target. I have consistently been losing about that every week. Last week I lost only a pound and this week I've lost nothing at all. If anything I actually 'look' fatter. I fear I have hit a…

Calories in this meal must be wrong?
Today I made haddock fishcakes from the BBC Good Food website. The recipe said it served 2 and that each serving was 230kcals. The recipe made 6 fishcakes. Do I assume that that is 230cals per fishcake? If so surely that then serves 6 and not 2? I find it hard to believe that 3 fishcakes (to serve 2) could only be 230cals.…

Cheat meals - OK or a no-no?
In my diet I plan on having 1 cheat meal a week. The portion won't be over the top, but probably a bit more than I should have. I also intend on having a dessert. My current plan is no more than 1200cals a day (normally a little less), exercise at least 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes and every meal is portion…
